Chapter 4 (The shock of her life)
Freedom9217: This chapter maybe surprising to the readers, I just think it be interesting to write it this way.
Kira and Athrun sit in the park thinking about how things end up this way. They were hoping to have fun staying in school instead of having an unknown person hanging around them all day.
"What should we do now?" Kira asked.
"I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see." Athrun answered.
"I'm starting to regret this." Kira said.
"I'm gonna head home and talk to my parents, see ya." Athrun said as they both head home.
Stellar is walking towards Cagalli's house because Cagalli invented her over to help with her homework. On the way, she looks at all the stores and suddenly, she spotted a piece of paper glued to a wall. She went for a closer look and realized that is a job application for baby sit an 8 year old girl. "I could use some extra cash." Stellar thought so she called Cagalli and told her that she'll be with her later, then she went to the place according to the address that is given on the paper.
Shinn's house
Stellar knocked on the door and Shinn appeared in the door way.
"Stellar, what are you doing here?" Shinn asked blushing in front of the blond hair girl.
"Shinn, this is your house?" Stellar asked.
"Yeah." Shinn answered.
"Who is it, Shinn?" Shinn's mother Mrs. Asuka said.
"It's a friend." Shinn said.
"Come in; are you here for the babysitting job?" Mrs. Asuka asked.
"Yes, I saw your application on one of the stores. Maybe you can apply me." Stellar answered.
"It's like this, our babysitting found a new job so she quit, and me and my husband has to go to work, and my son is attending a boarding school, so I need someone to look after my 8 year old daughter Mayu. It's only for weekdays from 3:00 to 6:00. Do you think you have the time to do it?" Mrs. Asuka asked.
"Aren't you also gonna stay in school, Stellar?" Shinn asked.
"Yes, but I have the time. I'll do it." Stellar said to Mrs. Asuka.
"Okay, you can start next week; I'll pay you at the end of every month." Mrs. Asuka said.
"So I can see Stellar every day from now on if I rush home, perhaps this babysitting idea isn't so bad after all." Shinn thought, he had always felt special around Stellar.
Flashback
"You want me to baby sit Mayu, no way! She's old enough to look after herself." Shinn said to his parents.
"Come on Shinn, it's only for 3 hours each day." Mr. Asuka said.
"I don't have the time, I'm going to live at school, remember?" Shinn said.
"We know, but we can't just leave Mayu by herself." Mrs. Asuka said.
"Why not, it's not like anything's gonna happen to her." Shinn said.
"How do you..." Mr. Asuka was cut off by Mayu.
"Don't argue with Shinn anymore, I don't want him to baby sit me anyways. Can you find me another babysitter?" Mayu said.
"Of course, we'll find you a good babysitter." Mrs. Asuka said.
Shinn watches as Mayu run upstairs to her room. Mayu has always been his worst enemy at home. They always fights for who get the better things and Shinn's parents are always on Mayu's side because she's younger. Even some of Shinn's friends have told him to go easy on Mayu. Even though Shinn can't stand her sometimes, she is still Shinn's little sister. Shinn sighs and went to his room.
End of flashback
Next day Eternal high
Kira and Athrun are walking towards their lockers when Athrun spotted Lacus and Cagalli in the classroom looking depressed as ever. Feeling concerned, they approached the girls and greeted them.
"Why the long face?" Kira asked.
"Don't you guys know, today is the day that they'll chose our roommates." Cagalli said.
"I never thought it would end up like this." Athrun said.
"It's not that bad, maybe we'll end up with someone good." Lacus said.
Inspired by Lacus' words, Kira smiled and put his hand on Cagalli's shoulder, "Lacus is right, think positive, we might even end up with the person we want."
"Yah, I guess you're right." Cagalli said.
Flay was passing by and saw Kira and Lacus having a conversation and Kira seems to enjoy it, "Why is Kira talking to Clyne?" feeling jealous she barge into the room and pulled Kira away.
"Let me go, Flay." Kira demanded, but Flay had no intention of letting Kira go. She was not about to lose Kira to Lacus. Flay dragged Kira into a corner where no student is around and asked Kira why he is talking to Lacus.
"She's a friend, we're just discussing about the roommate problem." Kira said.
"Is she your new girlfriend?" Flay asked.
"What are you talking about? I told you, she's just a friend." Kira answered.
"I don't care! You can't talk to her!" Flay yelled.
"Flay! It's my life, I can do whatever I want, just leave me alone." Kira shouted then walked away.
"Damn! I'm not gonna let anything get in my way of getting Kira back, better watch your back Clyne." Flay said, then she walked to her classroom.
Flay went in her classroom and two of her friends greeted her, they asked Flay what happened and Flay told them all about her engagement with Kira a second ago. Flay asked her friends for advice and one of her friend Misha said she's knows how to get revenge from Lacus. Misha whispered something in Flay's ear and Flay smiled mischievously then she headed straight for principle Neo's office.
Afternoon
Cagalli sits in her desk wondering how she did in the science test they just had. She glanced around the classroom and found Kira and Athrun talking to some other boys. She looks at Kira and wonders how he resembles her so much. She knew that she had a twin brother, who got separated from her when they were babies, but she never had any hopes on finding him, she just thought that to be a coincidence. Then her eyes whirled to Athrun's face which made her slightly blushes. She has this unexplainable feeling inside whenever she looks at Athrun, she thought it to be normal for girls at her age.
The door opened and Ms. Talia came in, the students all went back to their seats.
"Good news class, we had a discussion and principle Neo decided to pair you up with the person you want to." Ms. Talia said.
"Great!" Cagalli said.
"I told you it wouldn't be all bad." Kira said.
"You got that right." Athrun said.
"Alright, class. For the boys, the pair ups are……"
Room 1 Kira – Athrun
Room 2 Yzak – Dearka
Room 3 Auel – Sting
Room 4 Shinn – Miguel
Room 5 Rusty – Dacosta
Room 6……..
"For the girls, the pair ups are…."
Room 1 Miraillia – Mia
Room 2 Lunamaria – Meyrin
Room 3 Cagalli – Stellar
"But I asked for Lacus to be my roommate." Cagalli said.
"Yes, that was the usual plan, but there has been a special request from Flay Allster."
"That means….."
"That's right, Flay requested to be roommates with Lacus Clyne."
Everyone is shocked by this and Kira felt the anger for Flay rising in his body.
"Can't you change it?" Cagalli said.
"It's already been decided." Ms. Talia said.
"What am I gonna do?" Lacus asked Kira as tears starts to flow in her eyes.
It may be unexpected, but please tell me if you liked the pair ups or not.
